Chapter 39 The Chosen One or His Nemesis?
After going upstairs, an embarrassed Kim Mi-ji quickly returned home, not daring to look back at Xu Yuan when she said goodbye.
She was afraid she wouldn't be able to hold it in.
As soon as she closed the door, Kim Mi-ji felt hot all over.
She kept fanning herself with her hand, and then she heard a knocking sound coming from behind her door.
dong dong.
"Double lock, remember to double lock," Xu Yuan's voice came.
"Alas, ah... I understand." Kim Mi-ji excitedly spoke in Korean before switching back to Chinese.
After locking the door, Kim Mi-ji suddenly laughed out loud, as if she had remembered something.
She quietly crouched by the door, listening to the footsteps fading away, the sound of the door opening, closing, and locking.
She was stunned for a moment when she suddenly looked up and saw herself in the full-length mirror by the door.
Is the girl smiling so happily and so beautifully in the mirror really myself?
Without realizing it, she had completely forgotten all the insults and abuse from the haters that had been lingering in her mind.
This is incredible.
She had never felt so relaxed in a long time.
Ding dong.
Kim Mi-ji's phone rang.
[Xue Yuting: Meizhi, are you asleep?]
[Kim Mi-ji: Not yet, unnie]
[Xue Yuting: We're waiting for our flight now. We'll be back tomorrow and come see you then.]
Kim Mi-ji: Okay. By the way, unnie, something happened to me today...
Kim Mi-ji told this older woman, in a roundabout way, what had happened that night.
Beep!
Xue Yuting called directly.
Kim Mi-ji was somewhat surprised.
"Hello, Sister Yuting?"
"Michi, you mean you slept in the car for almost an hour?"
"Inside."
"This is too dangerous. Is there any sleeping pill in the car?"
"Huh? No... no way, the car window was open. I must have had a little to drink and was a bit sleepy."
"Pabo! How could you fall asleep in someone else's car? Don't you know how dangerous that is for a drunk girl?"
"But...he's a neighbor, someone I know."
"The neighbor, the one who just moved in? Who knows if they're reliable? What if they took some weird photos of you while you were sleeping, or even... what would you do then?" Xue Yuting was frantic. "You're an idol, a celebrity, not an ordinary person. Even if you can handle it yourself, if it gets exposed, your career will be ruined!"
Kim Mi-ji's face turned pale: "No, it can't be that bad, right? I don't think he recognized me."
"It's not that bad for ordinary people, but you're Kim Mi-ji, the goddess of beauty from the Peninsula. There are so many people in mainland China; any niche group can form its own circle. Your perceived popularity in mainland China is far less than that of the Peninsula, but in reality, you have more registered fans in mainland China than on the Peninsula. What if he's just pretending not to know you?"
"this……"
"Since you're staying at my house, I have to take responsibility for you. No, you have to listen to my arrangements." Xue Yuting pulled open her collar, sweating profusely. "Try to recall what happened back then."
"I just... when I woke up, the chair was lying down... he was working on his laptop outside... he helped me put on a coat... I don't feel uncomfortable at all. I just went to the bathroom to check, and there was nothing wrong. I wasn't sleeping too soundly either. If anything had happened, I would have been aware of it..." Kim Mi-ji was completely sober and started to feel scared.
Xue Yuting kept shaking her head: "Listen to this, how many loopholes are there in these descriptions?"
The fact that he draped a coat over you means he was close to you.
The chair is reclining. Think about your posture; isn't it easy for food to get in the way?
Is it possible that your laptop is uploading those videos?
Oh no! Let me think about what to do, what to do... I can't arouse his suspicion, otherwise everything will be in trouble.
Okay, you can ask him out for dinner tomorrow, and I'll go with you. Let's test the waters first; the best-case scenario is that we're just overthinking things and scaring ourselves unnecessarily.
But if anything happens, I'll guide him to say something, and you'll record the whole thing. That way, even if he tries to fight back, we can still get him arrested.
If he just wants money, then give it to him; it's better to lose money than to suffer a greater loss.
Kim Mi-ji was already crying from fright. Of course, she didn't think Xu Yuan was that kind of person, but once a person is put into a certain pre-set scenario, they will only think within that scenario and lose their initial judgment.
The most typical example is when discussing betrothal gifts and dowries before marriage.
The young couple clearly have a very close relationship, like one person, and don't care about so many other things. They are willing and happy to make sacrifices for each other.
However, both sets of elders kept offering their opinions, each considering the worst-case scenario and viewing the other as the worst person. They endlessly inflated the costs of marriage to the point of exceeding the other's ability to bear them, which inevitably led to a negative outcome... ultimately causing the young couple's relationship to break down and their marriage to end in divorce.
"Unnie, I... have I done something terribly wrong?" Kim Mi-ji sobbed uncontrollably.
"It's my fault. Some unknown neighbors came and I didn't warn you in time." Xue Yuting slapped her mouth. "Besides, I should have come back and told you about this. Otherwise, I would have left you there alone, worrying about it."
Don't worry, I'll definitely help you solve this.
And... what if he really is a good person? You should trust your own judgment, after all, you're the one who interacted with him. Since you don't think there's anything wrong with him, it means he has some admirable qualities that you appreciate.
Don't overthink it.
"Okay, sure." Kim Mi-ji's emotions gradually stabilized.
She also felt that she had been unlucky for so long, there was no reason why all the bad things in the world should fall on her head, right?
Moreover, Xu Yuan made her feel really comfortable.
Perhaps, Xu Yuan is her Mr. Lucky?
